Amazing Grace was written by John Newton, who was a Captain of a slave ship, when slavery was still in. One time when he was returning to England from the Indies a storm hit,… and many men, women and children died. He then got a conviction from God, repeanted of his sins and wrote Amazing Grace.

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me. I once was lost but now am found, Was blind, but now I see. 'Twas Grace that taught my heart to fear.… And Grace, my fears relieved. How precious did that Grace appear The hour I first believed. Through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come; 'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far and Grace will lead me home. The Lord has promised good to me. His word my hope secures. He will my shield and portion be, As long as life endures. Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail, And mortal life shall cease, I shall possess within the veil, A life of joy and peace. When we've been here ten thousand years Bright shining as the sun. We've no less days to sing God's praise Than when we've first begun.

With some exceptions almost all songs have some story line or plot content. The narrator of Amazing Grace cites the various, manifold benefits of Divine Favor, and one of them… was cure of his ( possibly temporary) Blindness. ( Twas Blind, but now I See) if you follow the plot line it appears to be a sort of musical biography or autobiography of Saint Paul, and is entirely consonant with Paulist theology. The song was written by a man named Newton ( not the scientist).
